Shahiduzzaman Khan explains how migrant workers are treated in Bangladesh. - Bangladeshi migrant workers have become one of the most vulnerable sections of the total labour force. - Unscrupulous recruitment practices by a section of agents have led to high costs, fraudulent practices and pauperisation. - The market for migrant workers is highly imperfect: high transaction costs, pervasive information gaps and misplaced expectations, often evident in biased and unfair labour contracts. - A very strong monitoring body or a task force is needed which will monitor all the different actions or policies and all the rules and regulations of the recruitment agencies. Like every other person, they must enjoy all rights. They are not just an element of economic activity or production. --Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Read Viewing migrants as agents of development - bit.ly/1mipNwV * Images by SayNO - UNiTE to End Violence Against Women
